I'm 5'4, board is 5'0?

Question

i weigh 108 lbs, and am 5'4, i found a board on ebay that is 5'0 for $150 and i now want it very badly, but would it be too small? i am an intermediate surfer.

Answer 1

Sounds kinda small.  Better to find the right board than save some bucks and get something you can't work with.  Been there, done that.

Answer 2

I am going to go ahead and assume that you are a teenager or maybe even a little younger.  That being said, it would not be very smart to buy such a small board knowing that you are going to grow pretty significantly within the next few years.  Why not buy something a little bigger that you can still work with now but know you can grow into rather than something you will, maybe, use for a year and then have to trade in and buy another expensive board.

Answer 3

It depends on the size of waves you are riding. For small waves it would be ok, for anything head high or larger it would be to small.

Answer 4

Too small, sorry   (unless it's like 24" wide and 2.5"thick)

Longer board means a lot more "up time" as a beginner ....

Answer 5

way too small dude, i would leave it and get a board for your ability
